Localised maxillary ridge expansion with simultaneous implant placement: a case series

Abstract

The placement of implants in edentulous areas is often compromised by a thin alveolar crest, which widens the space between the two cortical bones; this offers advantages from aesthetic, biomechanical, and functional points of view. We present our results using the osteotome technique for the creation of a site for an implant, followed by immediate placement of the implant in thin edentulous maxillae, and the stability of the bony expansion over time. Twenty-three patients (six men and seventeen women) with partial edentulism associated with horizontal resorption of the ridges were treated by this technique to obtain a wider bony base for better placement of the implants. At the same time, 36 endosseous titanium implants were inserted. Three to four months later, the patients were rehabilitated with implant-supported prostheses. All implants were successfully osseointegrated and loading began after 61-197 days. All implants inserted were 4.1 mm in diameter, and between 10 and 15 mm long. All the implant-supported prostheses functioned acceptably, with no signs or symptoms such as paraesthesiae, dysaesthesiae, or pain. Within the limits of this study this technique seems to be reliable and simple with little morbidity, and rehab...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
